COURSE OBJECTIVES
The statistic shows a revenue forecast for the global big data industry from 2011 to 2026. For
2017, the source projects the global big data market size to grow to just under 34 billion U.S.
dollars in revenue(https://www.statista.com/statistics/254266/global-big-data-market-
forecast/)
The creation and consumption of data continues to grow by leaps and bounds and with it the
investment in big data analytics hardware, software, and services and in data scientists and
their continuing education. The availability of very large data sets is one of the reasons Deep
Learning, a sub-set of artificial intelligence (AI), has recently emerged as the hottest tech
trend, with Google, Facebook, Baidu, Amazon, IBM, Intel, and Microsoft, all with very deep
pockets, investing in acquiring talent and releasing open AI hardware and software.
The increasing interest and investment in AI, in turn, will lead to the emergence of new tools
for collecting and analysing data and new enterprise roles and responsibilities. Here are a few
predictions—based on analysis by the International Institute for Analytics (IIA), IDC, and
New Vantage Partners—regarding the market for big data analytics.
The big data analytics market will soon surpass $200 billion
IDC says that worldwide revenues for big data and business analytics will grow from $130.1
billion in 2016 to more than $203 billion in 2020, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of 11.7%. In addition to being the industry with the largest investment in big data and
business analytics solutions (nearly $17 billion in 2016), banking will see the fastest spending
growth.
There’s gold in the mountains of data
By the end of 2017, revenue growth from information-based products will double the rest of
the product/service portfolio for one third of Fortune 500 companies, says IDC. Raw data and
various value-added content will be bought and sold either via marketplaces or in bilateral
transactions and enterprises will begin to develop methods for valuing their data (see Chief
Data Officer below). “Data monetization” will become a major source of revenues, as the
world will create 180 zettabytes of data (or 180 trillion gigabytes) in 2025, up from less than
10 zettabytes in 2015, according to IDC.

This course aims at introducing the concept of Business Analytics and its importance in today’s market.
Participants will understand different Data Mining techniques and tool (Rapid Miner). We aim to
educate our participants about the Big Data Solution(Hadoop) and the components working on top of
Hadoop (MapReduce, HBase, Hive, Sqoop). By the end of this course, participants will get a clear view
of how the Big Data storage and processing works to accomplish today’s growing need to work on all
variety and volume of data.
As part of the course, participant will be given a case study and it would cover all the aspects of the
Business Analytics and Big Data covered in the course. Participants will be required to give a solution
to the problem using all components taught in the course.
TARGETED AUDIENCE
 Data Analyst - Statistics and Mining
 Big Data Analyst
 Operations Research Analyst
 Senior Data Analyst- Statistics and Mining
 Data Scientist
PRE-REQUISITES
Participants should preferably have experience in software development with Java/Unix/Linux
environment and good understanding on data/business analytics.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Certified Big Data Science Analyst program is a 5-day intensive training program with the following
assessment components.
Component 1. Written Examination
Component 2. Project Work Component (PWC)
These components are individual based. Participants will need to obtain 70% in both the components
in order to qualify for this certification. If the participant fails one of the components, they will not
pass the course and have to re-take that particular failed component. If they fail both components,
they will have to re-take the assessment.
